The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes by granting the county sheriff exclusive authority to utilize and request the assistance of volunteer posses for all prescribed responsibilities, as well as to regulate the organization and resources of any affiliated auxiliary, posse, or reserve organization that supports the sheriff's office. This change aims to clarify the sheriff's powers in managing volunteer resources effectively.

Additionally, the bill would make a technical correction in the language regarding the access and examination of records by the department. Specifically, it would replace the term "their" with "the attorney general's or county attorney's" to specify whose official duties are referenced in the context of accessing draft working papers and audit files. This amendment ensures clarity in the legal text while maintaining the existing provisions regarding the confidentiality of draft documents until the final audit report is issued.
